Amenities for a Relaxing stay
The Inn
Immerse yourself in Nelson County’s rich history with a luxury Bed and Breakfast experience. Steeped in history, our Inn has been a part of the Lovingston community since it was originally built in 1874 as the private home of a prestigious Virginia State Judge and, after three generations, renovated into the boutique Bed and Breakfast that you see today. Nestled in the heart of Lovingston, VA, every corner of the Orchard House B&B tells a story.
Relax in the comfy adirondack chairs gazing up at the endless skies, take a dip in the pool, stroll through our one-acre vineyard, relax in the gazebo, listen to the frogs chirping from the pond, watch for the beautiful birds that flit from one bird feeder to the next, or rock on the sprawling front porch while soaking up our amazing views of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Weddings & Events
The Orchard House Bed and Breakfast is one of the most enchanting wedding venues in Virginia, offering a historic estate, a newly renovated barn, a vineyard, and picturesque grounds. Our 14-acre property features stunning ceremony and reception spaces, a gazebo, a pond, and a vintage tree swing. With nine elegant rooms for up to 18 guests, we provide an unforgettable setting for weddings, elopements, and bachelorette weekends. Learn more.

What a lovely place! A beautiful historic farmhouse converted into a cozy, comfortable B and B where the host, Sarah makes you feel like family.
We were spoilt with delicious home-cooked gourmet breakfasts which differed daily. The location is beautiful with vineyard, tree, and mountain views from the fire pit, and you feel like you are in the country while still conveniently close to shops and restaurants. We heartily recommend it!

Welcome to The Lovingston! As the only guest room down on the first floor of our manor home and our largest room with a king bed in it, it is the most popular and most booked room!
People love the comfortable seating area with the big cozy chairs and generous bathroom. This room is private and beautiful!
I have some fun ideas for the next layer of renovations in this room but we have come a long way already. Swipe to the last 2 slides for a before video and an even older photo of this same room. (Also to note, the before photos are beautiful in their own way and there was nothing wrong with them…. We just had a vision to make this more our style.)

This is a fun before & after (swipe to the last 3 slides for the before). Welcome to The Apple Blossom! Guests love the romantic four poster bed and comfortable sitting area for two.
The Apple Blossom has great views of the front of the property and it is a special room because it was one of the original rooms built in 1874. This room is spacious and so cozy. 🤎

Over the next couple weeks we are going to introduce you to each of our rooms at The Orchard House. We have recently renamed each one and done some renovations to all of them and so this seems fitting in order to help you choose the best fit for your stay 🤎
First up is the Vineyard View. Over the years as I was dreaming of someday getting to run a B&B, I always knew that I wanted at least one room to feel like you are staying at Grandma’s house. I wanted the room to feel quaint, cozy and so inviting. When we first toured The Orchard House, I walked into this adorable room and knew this would be the one!
Guests who choose this room always mention that they first of all love the amazing view of our vineyard and mountains. They usually also mention the adorable wallpaper and stunning beams on the ceiling. The Vineyard View feels like a warm hug!
